Michigan Paycheck Calculator (2026)

Last reviewed: April 20, 2026

Michigan applies a flat 4.25% state income tax to wage income. Several Michigan cities, most notably Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, and Flint, layer a local income tax on top, typically at 1% to 2.4% for residents and a lower rate for non-residents who work within city limits. The combined effect for a Detroit resident is roughly 6.65% in state plus city income tax before federal tax and FICA enter the picture. Michigan has no State Disability Insurance program funded by employee payroll. Outside the cities that levy a local income tax, the visible state and local income tax line on a Michigan pay stub is the 4.25% state rate alone. This calculator estimates 2026 Michigan take-home pay after federal tax, FICA, the state flat rate, and supported city local rates. It supports pre-tax 401(k) and HSA contributions, single and married filing jointly, and standard or itemized deductions.

Does Michigan have State Disability Insurance?
No. Michigan does not run a State Disability Insurance program funded by employee payroll. Workers who want short-term disability coverage typically obtain it through their employer or a private policy.
How does Michigan compare to neighboring Ohio or Indiana?
